This is great! I was just thinking about something similar, perhaps you'd like to work it in.

basically, it would automatically assign meeting times, based on who's meeting, for how long, except that it would be scheduling several meetings, and take those into account.

I.e. throughout the week various employees in an office would simple set meetings for "friday"

The system would compile all the meetings that take place, and schedule them, to the best of their ability, so that no two meetings would conflict. On thursday night, the times are finalized and the meetings are placed on attendees calendars.

You'd need some sort of conflict resolution, but if you ran it each time for each meeting request came in, you could alert the involved parties immediately.

    Thanks for the idea! Definitely something to think about incorporating into the app.

Pick eliminates the pain of scheduling by surfacing mutual availabilities between 2 or more users. Users also get a personalized link so they can share their available times with anyone.

This looks like a good combination of simplicity and magic. I'm not sure about the focus on mobile, but pleased to see the website is simple as well. Looking forward to trying it.

    Founder here. So many people are on the go and using their phones. Pick makes it easy to schedule on the go, something that many people don't do right now. Web is just as important because Pick has the unique link you can share with anyone. Any feedback you have after trying it would be great. michael [at] pick.co
